Offloading just a portion of that debt could spook bond markets and send America's cost of borrowing soaring. The US argues that there was "no basis" for China's action.

Trump is "threatening to light American agriculture on fire". But foreign business people say Chinese rules limit competition and sometimes require them to help Chinese businesses improve their products.
